Then the driver nails the brake just before hitting the ditch, assuring that the car is in real trouble as it leaves the road.

Come on, you dont expect people to learn to actually drive thier cars do you? Detroit and the NHSA's "safety" devices would have you believe its not really necessary to actively participate in vehicle operation anymore.
Whats to worry? You are in "goodhands" and OnStar is right there to call the ambulance for you.
